Salem Maritime National Historic Site

Highlight • Historical Site

Salem Maritime National Historic Site has been in existence since 1938, and it was the first national historic site in the United States. It covers over nine acres, and within this are ten historic buildings, nine archeological sites, four historic wharfs, and a lighthouse. All of these historic structures are along the Salem waterfront, apart from a downtown visitor center. Of special note is the impressive Friendship of Salem, a schooner that, along with being a floating museum, is a fully functioning coast guard vessel that carries passengers on special sailings when the occasion arises. All in all, this is a truly remarkable seafront historic area.

The Salem Witch Trials Memorial stands as a powerful reminder of the dangers of hysteria, prejudice, and injustice.
